3/5 Nana “The Silver Tauren” Afedzie -. 1 year ago on Google
Famished
after
a
long
drive
,
my
partner
and
I
were
ready
for
some
pub
grub
that
would
warm
our
insides.
We
stumbled
upon
the
New
Inn
in
Harborne
through
a
Google
search,
sadly
our
first
impressions
were
less
than
appetizing.
Being
new
in
town
we
assumed
the
pub
had
parking
but
we
had
missed
it
.
We
decided
to
give
them
a
call
and
ask
for
some
help.
Unfortunately,
an
unhelpful
lady
answered
the
phone,
told
us
there
was
no
parking
available
and
didn't
offer
any
alternative
solutions
and
hung
up
.
With
our
hunger
leading
the
way,
we
conquered
the
parking
situation
and
briskly
marched
on
to
the
pub
undeterred
by
this
lady’s
attitude.
Now,
unless
this
pub
has
a
monopoly
on
unpleasant
female
staff
members
,
I
assume
we
were
unlucky
enough
to
encounter
the
same
lady
who
answered
the
phone
when
we
finally
arrived.
Her
general
demeanour
was
off-putting
,
she
was
as
helpful
as
a
screen
door
on
a
submarine.
She
stood
there,
not
uttering
a
word
while
we
ordered
food
from
a
menu
that
had
already
stopped
being
served,
before
informing
us
that
none
of
our
order
was
available.
Thankfully,
a
friendly
male
staff
member,
recognised
our
need
for
assistance
and
stepped
in
to
explain
the
menu
and
pointed
out
which
meals
were
still
available.
The
pub
itself
was
an
igloo,
but
we
managed
to
keep
warm
by
leaving
our
coats
on
.
It's
possible
that
they
turned
off
the
heating
to
save
on
energy
costs,
understandable
giving
the
current
crisis
we
all
face.
Despite
the
negative
first
impressions,
the
food
,
when
it
arrived
was
the
shining
star
of
the
New
Inn.
The
bangers
and
mash
and
ale
pie
were
delicious
.
Absolutely
the
best
!!!
⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟5
stars
all
day
long
,also
reasonably
priced
.
The
pub
interior
is
clean
and
well
presented
,
the
toilets
are
on
the
ground
floor
,
modern
,
also
very
clean
and
well
maintained
We'll
be
returning
to
the
New
Inn
,
but
we'll
make
sure
to
dress
for
sub-zero
temperatures
and
hope
to
avoid
the
unpleasant
lady.
The
food
is
worth
the
risk
of
frostbite.
